Didn't need them then or now. The unions are full of people that don't have the guts to go out and earn it on thier own, they need to have the saftey net under them.

:D............. Yep, those unions are filled with a bunch of unemployed freeloaders........ Sorry about your dad.................

Don't lump all union workers in with the bad apples you talked about. Not all union members are that way. that's like me saying all republicans are stupid. Not all, just some are stupid. same can be said about the democrats as well. Not all, just some are stupid.

I thought about this thread when I came across this article researching some company stock information today.

“This doesn’t sit well with me. It doesn’t sit well with our members,” Kennedy told the station. “But what does sit well is that we advocated for rights in this contract, and advocated for the rights of every police officer. Not to grow marijuana. But to have your day in court.”

I feel the same... I have seen management "hang their hat" on the contract many times. This is an example of the employees doing just that and management got burned. Unfortunately, common sense goes out the window on both sides when unions get involved.
